Abstract
IT is very gratifying to see works of the above class brought out,—books which it is supposed, are calculated to amuse as well as instruct. Ten years ago they would have been a dead loss to the publisher, and their publication now is one of the surest proofs that science is permeating all classes and is appreciated by persons of all ages.
